Angvar (/ˈɑːŋˌvɑːr/, /ˈæ-/; Angvarian: Ongvátar ['ɔːŋβɒtɑːr]; Nemedian: Eisenheim, ['aɪseːnhaɪm̩]), officially the Imperial State of the Crown of Angvar (Angvarian: Pórandor-búbhosh Durbûzg Ongvátar, Nemedian: Kaisertum der Krone des Eisenheims), is a transcontinental sovereign state primarily comprising the mainland of the Cimmerian continent and its adjacent subcontinents of Acheron and Boreania, most of Eastern Hyborea and northern Serea, numerous islands in the Atlantean and Lemurian oceans and various overseas territories and associated states. At 40,998,796 square kilometres (15,829,724 square miles), or three and a half times the size of Cimmeria, it is the largest country in the world in terms of area. Bounded to the north by the Boreal Sea, to the south by the Obrisian Sea, to the west by the Maulland Sea and to the east by the Kippon Sea, it borders Draconia and Ostenia to the west, Sylvania to the southwest, Obrisia, Berbania and Varkania to the south, and Seria to the east, while sharing maritime borders with the North Sea Realm and Kippon in the west and east, respectively. Via its overseas possessions, it borders the Ankin-Fúbù Union, Liuzhi and Jianqing; the latter by way of the International Legation Zones in Serea; Baqet, Ndabu, Vululand and Lozia, Kikuvu and the Haziri Sultanate in Maurica; New Zancora and Pregonia in Central Brenonnica; and New Tilgard in Upper Brenonnica. In addition to its 153 governorates, 40 of which are overseas; 18 both internal and external territories and one capital district, there are two associated states, namely: the condominium of Gaietia in Auralia and the Principality of Totenheim in Hyborea. The westernmost and easternmost governorates in the mainland are Weißeheldenburg and Vladivoyna, respectively, while the northernmost point overall is in the external territory of Kaiser Friedrich-Land near Borealia and the southernmost being Los Island in the Auralian Ocean. With a population exceeding 1.27 billion people, 60.81 percent of which are ethnic Angvarians, Angvar is the second-most populous country in the world. Its capital and largest city, Mordegard, harbors a metropolitan area population of over 440 million residents; other major cities include Sankt-Ninuesburg, Valenborg, Balzhed, Drestholm, Nurnhalt, Skarbolg, Rabenraus, Hexentreffen and Lestatshafen.
Since prehistoric times, Cimmeria has been sparsely inhabited by anthropophagic cave-dwelling peoples referred to as Wendol by classical writers.
Southwestern Cimmeria was known as the birthplace of the mythical hero Conan, revered as a national hero by
